UFC 205 Video: Woodley spars with Northcutt to prepare for Wonderboy

Tyron Woodley is defending his welterweight title at the highly anticipated UFC 205 card in New York. To prepare for an unorthodox striker in Stephen Thompson, Woodley trained with a Karate champ and UFC prospect in Sage Northcutt.

“These young guys, man. Old man got to whip out those new tricks, because they come at you,” Woodley said about Northcutt. “I work with Sage. He’s obviously in a similar style as the opponent I will be fighting against.”

“He, just in my opinion, is just a little bit faster, and his strikes come with a little bit more force.
